The Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany released a United Kingdom Holocaust awareness survey, which shows a surprising lack of awareness of historical facts — including the UK’s own connection to Holocaust history.
Most respondents (52%) did not know that six million Jews were murdered, and 22% thought only two million or fewer Jews were killed. Asked about the Kindertransport to Britain before the Holocaust, 76% of respondents never heard of it.
Some 67% of respondents wrongly believe that Britain allowed all or some Jewish immigration during the war, when it actually shut the door to Jewish immigration at the war’s outbreak.
The majority (57%) believe that fewer people seem to care about the Holocaust today than they used to, while 56% believe that something like the Holocaust could happen again today.

Why is it assumed that we are better off with them knowing 6 million were killed?
The British government just murdered a Jew and no one cared. Alta Fixler was taken off life support and not allowed to seek treatment in Israel. She could have lived and her family would have been grateful. Instead ,the judge ruled that Alta cannot leave England to seek life saving treatment. Her life support was disconnected and she died. Where were all the government officials that are supported by the Jewish community? Where was the Queen of England?I’m sure if this was a Ben Yishmael child there would have been an uproar and that child would have been saved.
I am sure many British don’t remember what happened to Alta. But we shouldn’t.
May the judge who ruled to have her murdered be judged by the heavenly court. May those who refused to help the JEWS during the Holocaust get their deserved punishment.
May Alta’s neshama have an aliya in Gan Eden and her family be comforted.
Doesn’t surprise me, coming from a country that just murdered Alta Fixler.
Alta Fixler is the only you know about. Sadly, hospitals GLOBALLY have been murdering thousands, esp. since last year.
